KANYE literally brought tears of joy to the original producer of the brazillian funk sample in "paperwork"when he got to know the one & only YE has sampled his work
Creative in a time where it feels like everyone (at or near the top) is content to blend in, and to really find “different” you more or less have to go somewhat underground or close to it
the sample from King was found by Lester Nowhere, I read his interview where he tells how he worked on the whole album and found out the day before the drop that the song was in the album
By showcasing this new unconventional ways you really help the road for evolution stand out thank you navie d once i learn piano lessons i may take you up on your better beat thing
@@Byronic19134I didn’t say anything negative about any other channels. I praised 2 channels which I absolutely love. The 2 channels which break down how a specific song was made and how we can implement the same techniques in our production. I grew up watching BusyWorks and outgrew it because the guy just makes “type beats” and doesn’t break down songs and beats.
Hi, the beat of king was sampled by the italian producer Lester Nowhere, when ye came in italy he searched him for days and found him, some assistant took his cd with demos and after some days got called to work on vultures.
Depending on how you go about making a song the drums either stand out as the main instrument and the other instruments compliment the drums or the drums just fit in the mix with the other instruments. Hip Hop is mostly drums as the main instrument but more complicated songs use drums as the backseat for the other instruments to dance on. When I say complicated I'm talking about older songs mainly that have intros , verse, bridge and chorus . Sadly most songs don't have these things anymore .
back to me has some of the coolest production on the album imo. the beat is basically just a bassline and drums for a majority of the beat, and it focuses on the drums. the snare is on the 3 and 8 with an open hat on the 7 to keep the rhythm. i love it
Splendiferous video! Hey Navie, would you have any advice on branding? I'm going through an producer identity crisis atm, and no amount of word play and creative thinking is helping me solidify my name, theme, brand, etc. I even stooped so low as to look into AI generative crap. lol I feel like this is more of a struggle than any musical challenge. Is it just me? Cheers!
Drums don’t have to knock every beat. Pulling them back allows the vocal to shine. When he was referring to drum knocking he was referring to singles not album tracks
Only the 4 last songs were amazing the rest for me was either good or some mids too but overall im so glad he dropped linking on a personal lvl with 3 song from an album is great
I loved this album, silly bars and all. “Beg Forgiveness” is the star of the show for me. It incites a very unique feeling. I don’t condone some of the things Kanye has said and done. But, the last thing I’m going to do is judge and scorn a person with mental health issues who are already cursed with an inconceivable level of fame and invasion of privacy. I couldn’t imagine the mix of all of those things paired with the death of my mother. Instead I will disagree, hope he and anyone else can move on in life or eventually see the errors of what they’ve done and if some music I like comes around, I’ll check it out. There’s that age old debate about wether or not the artist and the art are mutually exclusive and surely there’s fascinating points to be made both ways - But I cannot control the physiological response my body has when it comes in contact with music.
To me it’s crazy how he just able to think like this sample wise. I know he’s got a ton of people to help him tho so I guess it doesn’t have to be all him. Great album beg forgiveness is my fav along with do it. Not necessarily his greatest project but there are songs that are amazing on this
Did anybody else think it was also kinda odd that problematic didn't have drums at all? That was actually my favorite beat and was kinda disappointed when the drums never came in. I wanna download the song and add drums myself so bad lol
Can u do a tracklib tutorial on is it worth it and is it good sample library for future music industry for (beat makers) to start sampling rather than make their own samples, because now in tracklib samples just with 50$ per song
Tracklib kinda is its own tutorial and yeah it's clearly worth it and used in secret by most producers. If you want to make your own samples find a Track from Tracklib and use program to get the midi from the audio, or in other terms, the notes played in the song you like, and play it with your own vsti
You spent like 2 seconds talking about that buzz in carnival and you probably could have talked about carnival the entire video😅 I replayed that buzz like a hundred times trying to figure out if it was a double or a triple and I think it's a double but I think it is like reverbed so it starts round goes flat and ends round and one beat sounds like a double beat but he only used two of them so two of them paired together sounds like a triple beat but really it's just two beats that are reverbed. At least that's what it sounds like to me.
5:03 Is it just me, or for that carnival electric guitar transition snippet, the melody is different on UA-cam than it is on Spotify and Apple Music, On Spotify he sampled his old song but on UA-cam he sampled another rock song, or just a different melody, Idk why
Yeah I didn't like the album on first listen but decided to put it on while driving around and found myself cranking up the speakers. I guess it wasn't what I expected at first but once I let my guard down it got its hooks into me and now I can't stop listening
@@NavieD Kanye have so many different sonic eras everyone wants different things. I even heard a contingent of people wanting songs more along the lines of JIK/Gospel. I think the main point is that people don’t really like NEW things, just more of what they liked in the past.
Man judging the album by beats alone it's incredible. But some songs just have weird lyric choices. Definitely a step up from Donda embracing experimental sounds once again so I'll say I like it
Ye has always had weird lyrical choices. I think it feels weirder because Ty wrote a lot of it while Cyhi didn't. But we should all know by now Ye is addicted to subverting expectations.
I don’t even care that much about what he says, I care more about HOW he says it. Kanye doesn’t flow that well on this album in my opinion. The exception is BURN though where he actually flows as good as old Kanye
Another great video, but as a producer you should start crediting other producers, Hit-Boy produced Easy and many other producers had hands in vultures
the main thing i've learned so far is to clear samples
Weave! Hahah I get the sense he put this out without clearing a single sample
Or just be careful on selecting the samples, though time consuming. It'll be worth it in the long run.
@@blxxdbvrnbut this limits creativity too…
@@nickbrown4163 Unfortunately, people in the music industry care a lot about money than creativity.
Why??

is there a video?
@@MikeMackieyes
@@MikeMackie nope he posted it on his ig story
Lmao what a loser
Peggy getting 4 Kanye production placement is crazy
and he got all of those by insulting kanye in a rant, gotta start doing that

Stars and king
they helped mostly with adding drums
@@Call_Me_Riofuk sumn and beg forgiveness
@@Call_Me_Rioand fck sum
People reversing drum aren't bizarre or uncommon people have been doing that since Rick Rubin did it with the Beastie Boys back in the 80s
Some of the things he says make me think he doesn’t really really know hip hop. Or maybe I know too much
@@yuhbtw fr tho
@@yuhbtwthat’s what happens when u let ai write your scripts
Coolest reversed drums I heard was "The Devil Made Me Do It" by Paris where Funky Drummer is reversed and they added a creepy bassline
@@diggadirt393 You just made me look that up and that's cool but my favorite is Family guy by Drippy
thanks benzema!
😭😭
haha on point
haahah finally someones says it
hahaha
Bro....lmfaooo
The distorted pluck on every 4th beat in CARNIVAL is just the 808 switched up one octave higher with a heavily compressed distortion
the sample from King was found by Lester Nowhere, I read his interview where he tells how he worked on the whole album and found out the day before the drop that the song was in the album
Kendrick Lamar also used reverse drums in Lust
Everybody has some reversed drums in every of their beats 🤣🤷🏾♂️
@@julius48268 "nooooww.... heres a little story i got to tell about 3 bad brothers you know so well"
Well Kendrick’s producer did
@@Call_Me_Rio of course
@@julius48268Ms. Jackson by Outkast was the 1st time reversed drums worked in a song and made it a hit. They should get the credit for it imo.
you're an amazing teacher Mr. D. thanks for the breakdown. i honestly love that ye went into such dance grooves and vibes. love the album.
Love your breakdowns man. Puts a lot of things into perspective.
Your work is impeccable keep making videos please!
Constantly posting the best fun, yet informative tutorials! Thanks Navie
Your videos are gems man. Thank you for putting the effort in to making these happen.
Thank you for your analysis and insight! Really appreciated the album's production.

I appreciate you being here this early 😘
Loved this vid, loved the album. Thanks man 🙏

Great Videos. To be honest, I haven't listened the Album. However, I will try to purchase and listen to it mainly because of you.
Why would you purchase it
Bro just listen to it on youtube or something kanye doesn't deserve your money
@@marmadukereal1399shut up
Earned a sub for this one. Only thing i seen similar is the pod Dissect

w breakdowns
Album feels underrated already.. which is insane given streams.

Can you do a breakdown on how song Cry by Jay-Z was made/produced step by step by just blaze?
Cheers benzema
The reversed drums it's also done on ms Jackson by outkast
You should do a breakdown of TNGHT’s (Hudson Mohawk x Lunice) first EP, and also their second. Amazing production and interresting sounds and samples
Drums don’t have to knock every beat. Pulling them back allows the vocal to shine. When he was referring to drum knocking he was referring to singles not album tracks
0:47 where did you find those visuals (ik its from Vultures [Havoc Version]) i need me that HOODRAT version of it with those visualizers!
Karim Benzema dropping some music knowledge. Dope!
I wasn’t feeling the songs mostly but I’ll always love kw.
It’s not a “weird” drum pattern. Rick Ruben and Beastie Boys did the reverse drums on Paul Revere
VULTURES was amazing.
Some of the rapping was awful besides a few exceptions
Only the 4 last songs were amazing the rest for me was either good or some mids too but overall im so glad he dropped linking on a personal lvl with 3 song from an album is great
It was low key mid to me.
Fav track?

Your ability to reverse engineer beats is A+ man 💯
3:30 also Kendrick in LUST. such an hit
Wake up in the morning thinking bout money kick your feet up
Outkast Ms. JACKSON
To me it’s crazy how he just able to think like this sample wise. I know he’s got a ton of people to help him tho so I guess it doesn’t have to be all him. Great album beg forgiveness is my fav along with do it. Not necessarily his greatest project but there are songs that are amazing on this
hey man great video, could you talk about those drums Jpegmafia did on this album next?
Beg Forgiveness is the best beat on the album. The way the beat flips and the chops come in was EXCELLENT.
The production is the best thing in this album. Some mixes are odd, like Hoodrat, but highs are very good
Did anybody else think it was also kinda odd that problematic didn't have drums at all? That was actually my favorite beat and was kinda disappointed when the drums never came in. I wanna download the song and add drums myself so bad lol
sample from carnival was hell of a life his own song which sampled iron man but the guitar was rerecorded on hell of life
Hell of a life guitar comes from that’s my baby by Mojo Men
The distortion thngy at the end sounded more like a stretched and pitched 808 rather than a guitar sample ngl.
Beastie boys “Paul Revere” drums
Dammit I was saying Outkast Ms. JACKSON but yeah that was before it too.

Hey bro can you do a break down dums on paid
Also I think the sample on "king" is similar or the same as the one on "yikes" in the "ye" album
Omg I’ve been thinking this as well
5:03 Is it just me, or for that carnival electric guitar transition snippet, the melody is different on UA-cam than it is on Spotify and Apple Music, On Spotify he sampled his old song but on UA-cam he sampled another rock song, or just a different melody, Idk why

JPEG didn't find the sample for King, because it was done prior to him joining the project, but he did fix the drums
when you stop forcing the album into what you want it to be and let it be what it is. The album is pretty good.
That's interesting. You think people only want 2000s Kanye hey
Yeah I didn't like the album on first listen but decided to put it on while driving around and found myself cranking up the speakers. I guess it wasn't what I expected at first but once I let my guard down it got its hooks into me and now I can't stop listening

I prefer Donda as right now. I’ll give it another listen later.
ain’t no way you prefer vultures over donda
Pretty sure distortion at the end of the 8 bars on carnival is just the 808 pitched up an octave
what a great fucking video. good job man.
ALBUM OF THE YEAR

Another great video, but as a producer you should start crediting other producers, Hit-Boy produced Easy and many other producers had hands in vultures

waking up to karim benzema talking to me about kanye's beat is insane
thank you mr d
Thank you for watching my friend

is distortion that new of a concept for kanye tho? i immediately had to think about yeezus and on sight
ON SIGHT
Beastie Boys did the reverse first with Rick Ruben on production.
You’re the goat Navie
I knew you were going to make this video...still a banger like always
the goatttt
@ 3:33
Besstie Boys, dude… 👀
5:25 its i think its pitched up 808s
where i can find hard drums like from king?
2:17 sounds like the Home Improvement theme 😅
When did benzima start making beats
Love this break down , we need to all be non tradition and break the saturated industry , its the only way to evolve
Has anyone said you look like karim Benzema 😂😂🔥
2:22 that sounds like a Michael type beat that way
3:25 Drake - Wick Man on his recent “Scary Hours 3” EP got reversed drums, Thanks to Alan The Alchemist‼️🔥
4:52 this was to go around not being able to get rights for ironman
Reversing stuff is bizarre now?
